Pte. William Arthur Parkes

British Army South Lancashire Regiment

from:Manchester

Grandad, William Parkes was, according to his daughter, a 'boy soldier' and a 'crack shot'. According to the 1939 census he was recorded as 'incapacitated ex serviceman'. We are not sure if he received his leg wound while on active service, or, as rumoured by family, while training others. In WW2 he did serve in the Home Guard.
